A collaboration between Kyle Greenberg and Seiya Kobayashi, NapChat is a web-based alarm clock where users choose the time that the alarm clock goes off but not the sound that they are woken up by, that’s up to their loved ones to decide. On the NapChat website, user’s friends and family select the tone they want to wake up the user, which selection is then sent wirelessly to an Arduino Yun and played through a speaker which is located inside of the NapChat Companion (a teddy bear). Once the alarm clock goes off, the user must press the push-buttons that are located in the NapChat Companion’s paws in order to turn the alarm off and notify the person that set the user’s tone that they received the NapChat and the alarm was successfully turned off. NapChat’s website provides the user’s friends and family their nap schedule and which wake up times are available for someone to send them a NapChat. Wake up that special someone the way they deserved to be woken up, by the tone of your choice!
